Psalms 72
1 By Solomon. O God, Thy judgments to the king give, And Thy righteousness to the king's son.
Salomo dwom. Ao Onyankopɔn, fa wʼatɛntenenee ma ɔhene no, na fa wo tenenee ma ɔhene babarima.
2 He judgeth Thy people with righteousness, And Thy poor with judgment.
Ɔde tenenee bɛbu wo nkurɔfoɔ atɛn, ɔbɛbu wo nkurɔfoɔ a wɔrehunu amane no atɛntenenee.
3 The mountains bear peace to the people, And the heights by righteousness.
Mmepɔ no de yiedie bɛbrɛ nnipa no, nkokoɔ no de tenenee bɛba.
4 He judgeth the poor of the people, Giveth deliverance to the sons of the needy, And bruiseth the oppressor.
Ɔbɛko ama nnipa no mu amanehunufoɔ na woagye wɔn a wɔnni bie mma nkwa; ɔbɛdwerɛ nhyɛsofoɔ.
5 They fear Thee with the sun, and before the moon, Generation — generations.
Owia ne ɔsrane da so wɔ hɔ yi wɔbɛsuro wo awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ nyinaa mu.
6 He cometh down as rain on mown grass, As showers — sprinkling the earth.
Ɔbɛyɛ sɛ osuo a ɛtɔ gu asase a wɔadɔ soɔ so, te sɛ obosuo a ɛgugu asase so.
7 Flourish in his days doth the righteous, And abundance of peace till the moon is not.
Teneneefoɔ bɛnyini frɔmfrɔm wɔ ne berɛ so; yiedie bɛbu so kɔsi da a ɔsrane nni hɔ bio.
8 And he ruleth from sea unto sea, And from the river unto the ends of earth.
Ɔbɛdi ɔhene afiri ɛpo akɔsi ɛpo afiri Asubɔnten Efrata akɔsi asase ano.
9 Before him bow do the inhabitants of the dry places, And his enemies lick the dust.
Ɛserɛ so mmusua bɛkoto nʼanim na nʼatamfoɔ adi mfuturo.
10 Kings of Tarshish and of the isles send back a present. Kings of Sheba and Seba a reward bring near.
Tarsis ne mpoano ahemfo a wɔwɔ akyirikyiri de apeatoɔ bɛbrɛ no; Saba ne Seba ahemfo de ayɛyɛdeɛ bɛbrɛ no.
11 And all kings do bow themselves to him, All nations do serve him,
Ahemfo nyinaa bɛkoto no amanaman nyinaa bɛsom no.
12 For he delivereth the needy who crieth, And the poor when he hath no helper,
Na ɔbɛgye mmɔborɔfoɔ a wɔsu frɛ no, ne amanehunufoɔ a wɔnni ɔboafoɔ.
13 He hath pity on the poor and needy, And the souls of the needy he saveth,
Ɔbɛhunu wɔn a wɔayɛ mmrɛ ne ahiafoɔ mmɔbɔ na wagye ahiafoɔ nkwa.
14 From fraud and from violence he redeemeth their soul, And precious is their blood in his eyes.
Ɔbɛgye wɔn afiri nhyɛsoɔ ne akakabensɛm mu, ɛfiri sɛ wɔn mogya som bo wɔ nʼanim.
15 And he liveth, and giveth to him of the gold of Sheba, And prayeth for him continually, All the day he doth bless him.
Ɔhene nkwa so! Ma wɔmfa sikakɔkɔɔ mfiri Seba mmrɛ no. Ma nnipa mmɔ mpaeɛ mma no na wɔnhyira no da mu nyinaa.
16 There is a handful of corn in the earth, On the top of mountains, Shake like Lebanon doth its fruit, And they flourish out of the city as the herb of the earth.
Aburoo mmu so wɔ asase no so nyinaa; nnuane mmu so wɔ nkokoɔ so, ma nʼaba mmɔ sɛ Lebanon; na ɛnyini sɛ mfuo so serɛ.
17 His name is to the age, Before the sun is his name continued, And they bless themselves in him, All nations do pronounce him happy.
Ne din bɛtena hɔ daa; ɛntena hɔ nkyɛre sɛ owia. Wɔbɛfa ne so ahyira amanaman no, na wɔbɛfrɛ no nhyira.
18 Blessed is Jehovah God, God of Israel, He alone is doing wonders,
Nhyira nka Awurade Onyankopɔn, Israel Onyankopɔn! Ɔno nko ara na ɔyɛ anwanwadeɛ.
19 And blessed [is] the Name of His honour to the age, And the whole earth is filled [with] His honour. Amen, and amen!
Nhyira nka ne din a animuonyam ahyɛ no ma no daa daa. Ma nʼanimuonyam nhyɛ ewiase nyinaa ma.
20 The prayers of David son of Jesse have been ended.
Yisai ba Dawid mpaeɛbɔ no awieeɛ nie.
